It stinks because he’s probably my favorite “my guy” to watch on Sunday for me this year, but hope he can run train next week. I wouldn’t expect him back for Thanksgiving. 🐖 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
owenmills 5,326 Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Does Swift have a history of concussions in college? Hope this dude doesn't start having an issue with them like Jahvid Best. Still super curious where this occurred. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fbi314159 157 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 We now see how well the Lions move the ball without their RB1 on the field. I really hope he is cleared for Thursday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MingusDew 407 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Lions game went about as well as we could have hoped. AP + KJ looked anemic and the offense was completely useless. Would be huge if Swift could make it back for Turkey Day as I'm confident he'll step right back into a bell cow role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Gonzo 147 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Game was unbearable to watch. As a Lions fan and Swift owner, I really hope he comes back for Thanksgiving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OriolesMagic 43 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Did the Lions ever divulge if he suffered the concussion in practice, or his last game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JAG_challam 232 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just saw it reported that he is still in the protocol. I don't know exactly how it works, but I believe he needs to be medically cleared and then participate in at least one practice, even if just partial. If he's going to play, he needs to be cleared ASAP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tenner 1,052 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Anxiously waiting his status this afternoon. This will be a thanksgiving performance to remember if he suits up. For one game a year the Lions ball out, or at least try to - and this is it. Shades of Barry Sanders coming if he plays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think it just means he's on track. He needs to get in one partial/limited practice before he can clear is my understanding. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

King Gonzo 147 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 I think he’s still in protocol but this obviously good news as opposed to a DNP. Now we get to wait another 24 hours and can meet back here tomorrow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fbi314159 157 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 The practice is the first step. He still needs to be officially cleared by the neutral party evaluator, but I think it is a very good sign since I think he passed some screening already to be allowed to practice at all. Basically as long as he doesn't backtrack he should play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limited participation should mean he’s clear; when you have a concussion the prescribed way to get healthy is essentially “do nothing”. If he’s in there in any capacity you should feel good about him on Turkey day. Edited November 24, 2020 by mike11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PizzaBeerFF 758 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 He needs practice in pads tomorrow. Then evaluated by two independent doctors Thursday morning and have no lingering problems. This video explains it. He say 70 percent chance right now. And if he gets in practice tomorrow with pads a full day then up near 90 percent. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IlliniGuy76 1,126 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 He will clear protocol, start, and see 8 carries as Matt Patricia continues to be "smartest man in the room". 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King Gonzo 147 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 (edited) Another limited practice today and is officially listed as questionable. https://amp.freep.com/amp/6424851002?__twitter_impression=true Edited November 25, 2020 by King Gonzo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tenner 1,052 Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I need to him to get his head together and ball out tomorrow. If you are a Lions RB then you have to play on Thanksgiving Quote Link to post Share on other sites
